JR McCurdie-Artistic photo imagery filling the space between perception and reality

I am a photographer inspired by imagination and driven towards emotion. My specialty is shooting when others don’t. I have chased storms and some have chased me. I look forward to the time between sunset and sunrise to explore national parks. In the northwest many people have hiked in the mountains and have realized that the view is completely different on the return. The angles are different. The light is different. Sometimes it is just a different frame of mind. This is how I approach my images. I visualize scenes under different circumstances and wait until the conditions match. I have waited as long as four  years for a single image.

Our world has so much to see. I want to encourage people to get out and see it and inspire them to use their own imagination for photography. I use the fact that everyone has a camera in their hand as incentive for me to become a better photographer, artist and teacher.

Available for commission work and I am always willing to travel.
